As per my entry, since i made this mess to begin with :)
- A tall image (phone screen proportions)
- It's going to be Celeste, she is laying on her back, wearing white clothes, almost bridal
- Her tattoos are showing, she has her arms crossed on her chest, her nails painted black
- She is laying in freshly loosened dirt, maybe her skin is dirty as well in places. but her face is clean
- Her eyes are open, she is staring at the viewer
I had to give her an image i already had as a style guide, or else it went for photo-realistic by default, which was actually pretty good, but not what i wanted.

Marcelo came from a family of hat makers but he chose to be a lawyer instead. When his cheeky grandfathers came back from dead to haunt him, he was at first entertained by their tricks. However, after a year of relentless buffoonery and mischief…
The drink pedestal is a nice touch
Don't worry about overwhelming the community, we're not even whelming right now :)
As far as putting some meaning behind the picture. It really depends on what kind of story or emotion you would like to portray. I usually start from what I want to show and work from there. Then usually I get distracted, end up with something that just makes me giggle and post that instead :)
Most important, just post what you like and what touches you.

Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis.

It’s a fun book for beginners that mostly focuses on drawing characters.
It is an old book though, so it might contain some unpleasant caricatures further in.
The cheese must flow :)
And my runner-up:
